The game was a blowout win. The chosen players were a good choice. Only the player selected as SG surprised me but I think I didn't have a good alternative.

The game was a blowout loss. That's why most of my starters played a lot of minutes.

These two games looked good!

Well that's very good news! Looks like it worked perfectly in your case. Let's see some more reports and then change the testing parameters. Next week, please use a full depth chart and LCD, with the same players set as they were set this week by the new code.

Ok, I did that.

The game was a blowout win.

Comparing the games: same lineup, almost the same minute distribution. Looks good!

The game was very tight. So in the end the starters almost played the whole game.

Comparing the games: same lineup, almost no substitutions because of my lack of good bench-players.

Just a reminder to all who contribute to this thread, there is a vote underway which seeks to prioritise each of the commonly accepted improvements to the game.

Thank you guys for testing and reporting, these reports are great.
While karangula has some very promising results, the brambauti's problem shows that the "feature" is still not ready. However, it is encouraging to see that the code does "kick in" at appropriate times, even if it doesn't really do what it's supposed to successfully. Seems like that is the problem that needs fixing.

It would help to have more testers and more reports, testing only the blank lineups from now on. My everlasting thanks goes to karagula and brambauti for their efforts which puts us one step closer to the implementation of the code.

How big are chances LCD will not exist in this season? It is possible? Or we will play with LCD one season more? Make it clear please. I don't know what to do now. Do something changes or wait.

@kozlik4: It is impossible to predict when it will be implemented, while testing is underway. Depending on the testing results, the decision to implement will be made. I guess what I'm saying is: watch this thread and you'll probably see when it will be done. Also, to help speed up the process, test and report yourself, or even better, get others to do it too.

It would help to have more testers and more reports, testing only the blank lineups from now on.

I used blank in my PL tonight.. Lost by 2 points.. but its usual..
PG Gagys 48
SG Angel 40 Brimeris 8
SF Urbanovilius 41 Posecnas 7
PF Lyubarov 48
C Maldunas 39 Milieska 9
I think it was ok.. Usually BL selects Gagys to play at sg, and Angel at PG.. Because of the lack of back-up sf in my team Posecnas was used as sf.. For me, he is more like pf, but my sf has comparatively low stamina, so he had to be substituted.. So, for my understanding, everything went fine..
